The University of Saskatchewan will host the Canadian Executive Nuclear Energy Management School (Executive NEMS) from June 8–13, 2026, in cooperation with the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA).
This marks the first executive-level nuclear energy management program offered in Canada — bringing together senior Canadian and international leaders to strengthen understanding of nuclear energy infrastructure, regulatory readiness, advanced and small modular reactors, and leadership for new and expanding nuclear programs.
Applications are open until March 17, 2026.
Strengthening Saskatchewan’s Nuclear Ecosystem
The delivery of Executive NEMS in Saskatchewan reflects the province’s growing role across the nuclear value chain — from uranium production and advanced research to regulatory development and workforce capacity.
Executive-level leadership development is a critical component of responsible nuclear advancement. As jurisdictions evaluate new builds, SMR deployment, and evolving regulatory frameworks, strategic decision-making capacity becomes as important as technical capability.
Programs like Executive NEMS contribute to that system-wide readiness.
A Platform for National and International Collaboration
Delivered in cooperation with the IAEA, the program will convene Canadian and international leaders to explore:
Nuclear energy infrastructure development
Regulatory frameworks and readiness
Advanced reactor and small modular reactor systems
Governance and executive leadership in emerging or expanding nuclear programs
By hosting Executive NEMS, Saskatchewan further positions itself as a convening jurisdiction for nuclear leadership, knowledge exchange, and global engagement.
Applications Open
Senior leaders interested in participating in the Canadian Executive Nuclear Energy Management School can learn more and apply through the University of Saskatchewan.
Application deadline: March 17, 2026
Program dates: June 8–13, 2026
